In an impassioned blog post, Gabe Kapler took to task many of the Republican and NRA talking points following the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the police response, too, and said he would not participate in the national anthem until he felt better about the direction of the country.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Friday he will not participate in the national anthem until he feels better about the direction of the country. Former Philadelphia Phillies and current San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Friday in an impassioned blog post that he will not be taking the field for the national anthem as a form of protest following the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The former MLB player wrote that his father taught him to stand for the anthem, but to also have a seat when he believed his country wasn’t representing its people well.Kapler said he thought about taking a knee during the playing of the anthem on Wednesday, but his “body didn’t listen,” to his brain.
